Conventions
This manual specifies keyboard commands in the following manner.
* The word CHORD means press the spacebar at the same time as the listed Braille character. For example: to form an E-CHORD, press the spacebar simultaneously with DOTS 1 and 5.
* The term toggle means that a key used in combination with the spacebar will turn a particular feature on or off.
* Keys to be pressed are capitalized and are in BOLD.
* Keys pressed simultaneously are indicated with a MINUS (-) sign joining the keys.
* The phrase "(Y, N)" means that you should choose Y for yes or N for no.
* Keys pressed one after the other, are separated by a COMMA (,).
For example, "Press ST-SIGN CHORD, S-CHORD, SPACEBAR to toggle speech on or off."
Getting Help
There are several methods for getting help when using your Braille Lite.

Chapter 1
Overview
The Braille Lite M Series is the newest generation of the Braille Lite notetakers. In this series, the Braille Lite has been redesigned to include approximately 2 megabytes of RAM (Random Access Memory), 12 megabytes of read-only flash memory, a Compact Flash port, a modem, and programmable Whiz Wheels. The Braille Lite is fully interactive, offering Braille input with its 8 dot Braille keyboard, speech output through an internal synthesizer, and Braille output from a 20 or 40 refreshable cell Braille display. The Braille Lite M Series fully supports Grade I Braille, Grade II Braille, Computer Braille, and all 256 ASCII characters.
In addition, Freedom Scientific offers multiple external programs and accessories that enhance the functionality of your Braille Lite.
Braille Lite Keyboard
The Braille Lite's new 8 dot Braille keyboard represents the dots in a Braille cell and is laid out in the following order from left to right; 7, 3, 2, 1, 4, 5, 6, and 8. Key 7 is a BACKSPACE key, while key 8 is the carriage return or ENTER key. Below these keys, in the center of the Braille Lite, is the spacebar. When you press the spacebar in combination with other keys you create a chord.
Braille Display
The Braille Lite is available with either a twenty or forty refreshable cell Braille display. The M20 has 20 cells and the M40 has 40 cells. The Braille display, located below the keyboard, has cursor routing buttons above each cell, which when pressed, places the cursor at that specific cell's location.
A feature specific to the M40 is raised locator dots. These raised dots, which are above each fifth cell, help you locate a particular cell quickly.
Advance Bar(s)
Depending on your Braille Lite model, there is either one advance bar (M20) or two advance bars (M40). The advance bars allow you to move through your files one display length at a time. Press the right end of an advance bar to move forward by 20 or 40 cells. Press the left end of an advance bar to move back 20 or 40 cells. In either case, the display wraps to the next or previous line of text after it reaches the end or beginning of a text line.
The two advance bars on the M40 keep you from moving your hands away from the cells as you're reading.
Another feature that may also help you read the Braille display is Reverse Advance. Reverse Advance reverses the function of the advance bars so the left end of the advance bar moves you right, and the right end moves you left. For some people, this provides an easier reach without needing to move fingers that are reading the Braille display.
Note: "Chording" produces almost all of the Braille Lite commands. This term refers to pressing the spacebar in conjunction with other Braille keys. This feature is similar to pressing the CTRL key along with other keys on a computer keyboard.
Whiz Wheels
The Whiz Wheels are a new feature to the M Series. They allow you to scroll among the different Braille Lite menus and they allow you to scroll text by line, by sentence, and by paragraph. To program the scrolling feature, open or create a file, and press the right and left Whiz Wheels down for line, sentence, or paragraph.
Note: You can set the Whiz Wheels independently. For example, you can set the right Whiz Wheel to move by line and you can set the left Whiz Wheel to move by paragraph.
Ports and Switches
Braille Lite M20
The Braille Lite On/Off switch is on the right edge of the unit. Toggle the switch towards the back of the unit to turn on the Braille Lite. Toggle the switch towards the front of the unit to turn it off. The Braille Lite remembers the last file and location where you left off and then reminds you by announcing the name of the file when you restart the unit.
A similar switch called the Braille Display Mode switch is on the left side of the unit. This switch toggles the Braille Lite between Notetaker and Braille Display Mode. Leave the switch toggled toward the back of the system to use the Braille Lite as a Notetaker, and toggle the switch toward the front of the unit to use the Braille Lite as a Braille display with your PC and screen access software.
In front of the On/Off switch is a serial port. Just in back the On/Off switch is an Earphone Jack. This jack can also connect an external speaker or a tape recorder.
On the back side of the Braille Lite M20/40 is a Compact Flash port (add-on memory), a modem port, and a parallel port.
On the left side of the unit in back of the Braille Display Mode switch is the AC Adapter jack and just in front of this switch is another serial port.
Braille Lite M40
Orient your Braille Lite so that the Braille display is closest to you. On the right side of the unit is the On/Off switch. Toggle the switch towards the back of the unit to turn on the Braille Lite. A similar switch, called the Braille Display Mode switch, is on the left side of the unit. This switch toggles the Braille Lite between Notetaker and Braille Display Mode. Leave the switch toggled toward the back of the unit to use the Braille Lite as a notetaker. Toggle the switch toward the front of the unit to use the Braille Lite as a Braille display with your PC and screen access software.
On the back side of the unit, from left to right, are the following jack, buttons, and ports:
* The AC adapter jack - connects the 12 volt battery recharger that is supplied with the unit.
* Two serial ports - these ports allow you to simultaneously attach two external devices such as a personal computer (PC),
Note: For external devices to work properly please use the appropriate cables that Freedom Scientific manufactures.
* Two PS2-style serial ports - these ports have been made available for future expansions.
* One parallel port - attaches any standard printer or embosser.
* A recessed hardware reboot button
* A recessed hardware reset button
Note: Please avoid pressing either the recessed hardware reboot button or the recessed hardware reset button unless specifically instructed by Freedom Scientific's technical support team.
* A Compact Flash port (add-on memory)
* An earphone jack - this jack can also connect an external speaker or a tape recorder.
On the left side of the unit, from front to back, is the Braille Display Mode switch and the modem port.
The Battery and AC Charger
A Lithium ion battery powers the Braille Lite M20/40. This battery does not build up memory and can be charged as often as you like without affecting battery life or the number of hours of each recharge cycle. It is not necessary to fully discharge the battery before recharging the unit.
When you first start the Braille Lite, the battery should be charged and ready to work. If the Braille Lite does not turn on, connect the battery charger to the unit and plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet to charge the battery. A unit battery charger is included with the purchase of your Braille Lite.
If you run your Braille Lite to the point that it becomes inoperable, leave the charger plugged in for at least one full minute before restarting the unit.
Regardless of the amount of battery charge remaining, it takes four hours to recharge the Braille Lite battery and there is no danger of overcharging the unit. Once charged, the unit operates for approximately thirty hours. When the battery needs recharging, you will receive a "Battery Low" message.
WARNING: This unit should only be charged using the supplied battery charger. Use of any other adapter may damage the unit and possibly void any existing warranty or service contract.
Your Braille Lite has a built in rechargeable cell. This cell only works when the main battery is dead and holds memory for about 2 weeks after which the memory is lost. For this reason it is important to recharge your main battery frequently.
To alert you that you have left your unit on for 5 minutes without pressing a key, the Braille Lite announces, "Hello." If the speech is turned off, the unit will beep.
Gas Gauge
Another feature added to the M20/40 software is the "Gas Gauge." This feature monitors your activity and counts the absolute minutes that the unit is on whether it is plugged in or not. The gas gauge starts at 100% when manually reset and decreases by percentage according to the activities being performed and the duration of those activities. To find out the percentage of residual battery time, enter the Status Menu with an ST-SIGN CHORD (DOTS 3-4 CHORD) and press DOTS 1-4-6.
Note: For an accurate reading, you must reset the "Gas Gauge" each time you recharge your unit. To reset the "Gas Gauge" enter the Status Menu (DOTS 3-4 CHORD), and press a TH-SIGN CHORD, SPACEBAR, Y (DOTS 1-4-5-6 CHORD, SPACEBAR, DOTS 1-3-4-5-6).
Care of your Braille Lite M20/40
For best care of your Braille Lite M20/40, store your unit in a dry place, avoid operating the unit around liquids or food, and always operate the unit with dry, clean hands.
Chapter 2
Customizing Speech
When you start your notetaker for the first time, the Braille Lite automatically opens the 'Help' file from the File Menu with the prompt, "Braille Lite ready, Help is open." At this point, there are a variety of things you can do. You can use the Whiz Wheels to scroll and display the contents of the open Help file. You can read the contents of the help file aloud by pressing an ER-SIGN CHORD (DOTS 1-2-4-5-6 CHORD). (To stop speech, press E-CHORD.) You can check your notetaker's firmware release date, which is important because Freedom Scientific continually improves Millennium firmware and periodically you will want to update your firmware to the latest release. To find out the release date, enter the Status Menu with an ST-SIGN CHORD (DOTS 3-4 CHORD) and press R (DOTS 1-2-3-5).
Tip: If you performed a command that wasn't intended or find that you are lost in a procedure, press a Z-CHORD (DOTS 1-3-5-6 CHORD) twice. This aborts any action(s) you performed and allows you to either start the procedure over or move on to something else.
Speech Parameters
Before we begin this discussion it is important to point out that the Braille Lite offers several ways to turn the speech feature on and off. For instance, pressing a V in the Options Menu or an S-CHORD, SPACEBAR in the Status Menu will turn speech on or off.
You can accomplish the same functionality, if you press and hold at startup; the letter B for Braille display only, the letter S for speech only, and SPACEBAR for silent startup.
Additionally, there are two separate areas in the Braille Lite that handle speech parameters.
The first group of parameters is in the Status Menu. To use these parameters you must enter the Status Menu with an ST-SIGN CHORD (DOTS 3-4 CHORD), use DOT 1 or DOT 4 CHORD to navigate to the setting, and use the SPACEBAR to toggle the setting on or off.
* Speech
* Voice Inflection
* Word Exceptions
* Speak Words in
Say All Mode
* Ham Calls
Ham Radio Operators may find Ham Calls useful in that it spells out letter-number combinations such as w1aw, rather than trying to read it.
The other area has a group of settings that let you individualize your notetaker's speech for maximum listening comfort. This group is accessed independently with its own command, the AR-SIGN CHORD (DOTS 3-4-5 CHORD).
When you press this command from within any file, you will hear the Braille Lite say, "Set speech parameters." Use the commands listed below to customize your notetaker's speech.
Softer volume DOT 1
Louder volume DOT 4
Slower speed DOT 3
Faster speed DOT 6

Key Click - Typed keys click as they are pressed.
Silent Keys - There is no auditory indication when keys are pressed.
Key Echo - Each character is spoken as it is pressed.
Key Echo Words - Each word is spoken after it is typed and the spacebar is pressed.
Voice Inflection
This feature is useful because it helps you identify the punctuation of a sentence. The inflection ranges available are from 0 (monotone) to 9. Voice Inflection is on by default. To adjust Voice Inflection, enter Speech Parameters (AR-SIGN CHORD) and adjust the inflection you hear using DOTS 1-3 (decreases) and DOTS 4-6 (increases).
To turn Voice Inflection off, enter the Status Menu (ST-SIGN CHORD) and press I. Then press the SPACEBAR. The Braille Lite remembers the last adjusted setting, regardless of whether you turn Voice Inflection on or off in the Status Menu. You can also adjust the inflection setting while Voice Inflection is turned off, but the new setting will not take effect until you turn Voice Inflection back on in the Status Menu.
Note: Be sure to point to an item other than PC Edit when pressing I in the Status Menu.
Voice Pitch
You can adjust voice pitch. After entering Speech Parameters, use DOTS 2-3 (decreases) or DOTS 5-6 (increases) to adjust the voice pitch.
Line Breaks
Press L to toggle between Speak to "End of Line" or "End of Sentence" (line is default). Speak to End of Line pauses for punctuation and/or line breaks; Speak to End of Sentence pauses for punctuation, but not for line breaks. You might use Speak to End of Line for reading the help file, for example, and Speak to End of Sentence for reading a novel.
Preset Voices
You can preset five voices using all available Speech Parameters. Press DOTS 2-3 CHORD or DOTS 5-6 CHORD to select a voice number (i.e., voice number 1, voice number 2...) then use the different parameters to customize the voice. When you are ready or are in a situation where you need a different voice, press a Y-CHORD and the voice number (in dropped numbers) from within any file. The M20/40 automatically implements your preset voice. This feature is useful when you're in and out of noisy and/or quiet environments or if you like to read at one speech rate and edit in another.
Voice Shift
In addition to Braille feedback, PC Edit has Voice Shift feedback. This feedback is useful because it helps you identify whether you're in Append, Insert, or Overwrite Mode. With Append Mode the shift remains standard; with Insert Mode the shift goes up; and with Overwrite Mode the shift goes down.
To use Voice Shift:
1. Enter the Status Menu with an ST-SIGN CHORD.
2. Turn PC Edit on by pressing DOTS 1-2-4-6 and if necessary use the SPACEBAR to cycle through the options.
3. Exit the Status Menu with an E-CHORD.
4. Enter Speech Parameters with an AR-SIGN CHORD.
5. Type DOTS 1-4-6.
6. Use Dropped Numbers, 0 through 6, to set the shift variation: with 0 having no shift variation and 6 having the greatest shift variation.
7. Press E-CHORD once to save and exit Voice Shift, twice to exit out of Speech Parameters.

Status Menu
The Status Menu is also an important menu because it allows you to change your Braille Lite settings. For instance, suppose you want to use an embosser with your Braille Lite. You would first have to change the serial parameters on your Braille Lite in order for the embosser to work properly. With the Status Menu you can also modify settings, such as Speech Parameters, Editor Parameters, Format Parameters and Braille Display Parameters. Adjusting the items in the Status Menu gives you more control over your Braille Lite.
To access the Status Menu, press an ST-SIGN CHORD (DOTS 3-4 CHORD). To navigate, you can use the common commands listed above, scroll through each item using the Whiz Wheels, or you can use the following commands to move to each section of the Status Menu.
Note: Anytime you enter the Status Menu you will hear the Status Menu prompt along with the last item of focus.
Moves you forward by sections DOTS 5-6 CHORD
Moves you backward by sections DOTS 2-3 CHORD
To exit the Status Menu, press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD).
Here is a list of the six sections you will find in the Status Menu.
* Serial Parameters
* Speech Parameters
* Braille Display Parameters
* Editor Parameters
* Format Parameters
* System Parameters
Note: If you want to reset your Braille Lite to its default settings, press = CHORD (DOTS 1-2-3-4-5-6 CHORD) from within any file. This is called a warm reset and it does not affect your files, but all settings you have configured are reset to their defaults.
If the first warm reset does not help, press and hold down = CHORD (DOTS 1-2-3-4-5-6 CHORD) during power on.
Once you've found the setting you want to adjust, press the SPACEBAR to toggle the setting on or off.

Working with Files
Before we begin working with files it is important for you to understand how the Braille Lite organizes your files. The Braille Lite can be set to organize your files in one of two modes. The default mode is All Files Mode; this mode organizes all files in one listing, regardless of which folder it is in. When you scroll this list you will hear the file name along with the folder name it is stored in. The other mode is Folder Mode, which organizes your files into separate folders. When you are in this mode, you will review each file in their respective folders. In order to list files and their folders, you must enable "Allow Folder Mode," in the Status Menu. To read more about this topic, please see the chapter, Working with Folders. This chapter discusses the operations that can be performed to a file and the different methods available for performing these operations.
Creating Files
Files created with the notetaker are stored in the Files Menu in the RAM (Random Access Memory) Folder. Once you have created a file, you can immediately start entering information in that file.
1. Press O-CHORD, F (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD, DOTS 1-2-4) you will hear, "Enter file command."
2. Press C (DOTS 1-4) for create. You are prompted for a file name.
3. Type the file name.
4. Press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD) to finish the file creation.
Note: You cannot name files with more than twenty characters nor can you name a file with the following characters: QUESTION MARK, ASTERISK, SLASH, BACKSLASH, COMMA, COLON, and PERCENT. Also file names should not begin with a PERIOD.
Further considerations include transferring files to an external disk drive or to a Compact Flash. Since these storage mediums do not support the longer file names, we recommend you use the MS-DOS "8.3" digit format. This format limits a file to eight characters, a period, and three more characters without spaces. The three characters after the period are referred to as a file extension, and may determine how applications on a PC interact with these files. For example, in Microsoft Windows 9.x, files with an extension of .txt are opened in Notepad.
Opening Files
Method 1:
1. Press O-CHORD, F (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD, DOTS 1-2-4) you will hear, "Enter file command."
2. Type O (DOTS 1-3-5) for open and then type the "name of file," followed by E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD).
Method 2:
1. Press O-CHORD, F (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD, DOTS 1-2-4) you will hear, "Enter file command."
2. Scroll through the list of files using the Whiz Wheels or use DOT 1 CHORD or DOT 4 CHORD to locate your file.
3. Press O-CHORD (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD) when the desired file is located. This will open the file.
Saving Files
Braille Lite M20/40 automatically saves the text in your file whether you open another file or turn off the Braille Lite. If you have a file open and you turn off your Braille Lite, the next time you start your notetaker, it will open and announce the file you were last in.
Deleting Files
The chords for deleting a file depend on the method you used to locate that file. For instance, if you choose to type the file's name (Method 1) you then delete the file from the Files Menu by typing D (DOTS 1-4-5) for delete. If you choose to locate the file with the navigation commands (Method 2) use the D-CHORD (DOTS 1-4-5 CHORD).
Method 1:
1. Press O-CHORD, F (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD, DOTS 1-2-4) you will hear, "Enter file command."
2. Type D (DOTS 1-4-5) for delete and then type the "name of file," followed by E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD).
3. After the name of the file is announced, enter Y (DOTS 1-3-4-5-6) for yes and N (DOTS 1-3-4-5) for no.
Method 2:
1. Press O-CHORD, F (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD, DOTS 1-2-4) to open the File Menu.
2. Scroll through the list of files using the Whiz Wheels or use DOT 1 CHORD or DOT 4 CHORD to locate your file.
3. Press D-CHORD (DOTS 1-4-5 CHORD) when the desired file is located.
4. After the name of the file is announced, enter Y (DOTS 1-3-4-5-6) for yes or N (DOTS 1-3-4-5) for no.
Renaming Files
If you want to rename a file that you have been working in, use the command R (DOTS 1-2-3-5). If you want to rename a file other than the file you have been working in, use an R-CHORD (DOTS 1-2-3-5 CHORD). To check if the file has been renamed correctly press a C-CHORD (DOTS 1-4 CHORD).
Method 1:
1. Press O-CHORD, F (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD, DOTS 1-2-4) you will hear, "Enter file command."
2. Type R (DOTS 1-2-3-5) for rename and then the "name of file," followed by E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD).
Method 2:
1. Press O-CHORD, F (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD, DOTS 1-2-4) to open the File Menu.
2. Scroll through the list of files using the Whiz Wheels or use DOT 1 CHORD or DOT 4 CHORD to locate your file.
3. Press R-CHORD (DOTS 1-2-3-5 CHORD) when the desired file is located.
4. Type the new file name and press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD).
Navigating within Files
The Move command (# CHORD) (DOTS 3-4-5-6 CHORD) lets you navigate files by a specific parameter. After pressing # CHORD (DOTS 3-4-5-6 CHORD), press DOT 4 CHORD to move through the menu choices, or use the access keys listed below.
Absolute Page (A)
After selecting this parameter, specify the number of units you want to move, counted from the top of the file. Specify 0 to determine the total number of absolute pages in the file.
Braille Page (B)
After selecting this parameter, specify the number of units you want to move, counted from the top of the file. Specify 0 to determine the total number of Braille pages in the file.
Character (C)
After selecting this parameter, specify the number of units you want to move from the top of the file. Include a PLUS SIGN (+) before the number to move forward the specified number of units from the cursor location. Use a MINUS SIGN (-) before the number to move backward the specified number of units from the cursor location. Specify 0 to determine the total number of characters in the file.
Line (L)
After selecting this parameter, specify the number of units you want to move from the top of the file. Include a PLUS SIGN (+) before the number to move forward the specified number of units from the cursor location. Include a MINUS SIGN (-) before the number to move backward the specified number of units from the cursor location. Specify 0 to determine the total number of lines in the file.
Mark (M)
Use this parameter if you have previously set a mark (M-CHORD) in your file, and want to move back to the location of that mark.
Print Page (P)
After selecting this parameter, specify the number of units you want to move, counted from the top of the file. Specify 0 to determine the total number of print pages in the file.

After selecting this parameter, specify the number of units you want to move from the top of the file. Include a PLUS SIGN (+) before the number to move forward the specified number of units from the cursor location. Include a MINUS SIGN (-) before the number to move backward the specified number of units from the cursor location. Specify 0 to determine the total number of words in the file.
Moving Files
Since the Braille Lite M20/40 has about 2 megabytes of RAM storage, you will want to move files from the RAM Folder over to the Flash Folder for storage. Flash has 12 megabyte of storage.
To move a single file into another folder:
1. Press O-CHORD, F (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD, DOTS 1-2-4) to open the File Menu.
2. Press DOTS 5-6 CHORD or DOTS 2-3 CHORD to move to the folder containing the file, then press DOT 4 CHORD or DOT 1 CHORD to locate the file.
3. Press GH-SIGN (DOTS 1-2-6) to determine if the file is marked, then press SPACEBAR to mark the file.
4. Press DOT 5-6 CHORD or DOT 2-3 CHORD to select the folder to which you want to move the file and press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD). If Folder Mode is off, you will be prompted to press Y for yes or N or no. If Folder Mode is on, press DOT 1 CHORD or DOT 4 CHORD to choose the desired folder, followed by E-CHORD.
To move multiple files into a folder:
1. Press O-CHORD, F (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD,
DOTS 1-2-4) to open the File Menu.
2. Press GH-SIGN (DOTS 1-2-6) to initiate the tagging process to copy files to another folder.

Chapter 5
Working with Folders
The Braille Lite provides two folder modes to assist you in organizing your files. In order to create and use folders, you must enable "Allow Folder Mode" in the Status Menu. Press ST-SIGN CHORD, F-CHORD, Y (DOTS 3-4 CHORD, DOTS 1-2-4 CHORD, DOTS 1-3-4-5-6) to enable Allow Folder Mode. Use E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD) to exit the Status Menu.
Once Allow Folder Mode is enabled, you can now enter the File Menu O-CHORD, F (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD, DOTS 1-2-4) and toggle (SPACEBAR) between the two modes:
* All Files Mode - places all files in one listing.
* Folder Mode - separates files into folders.
When in Folder Mode, press DOTS 5-6 CHORD or DOTS 2-3 CHORD to move between folders, and then press DOT 4 CHORD or DOT 1 CHORD to move through the files in the current folder.
RAM startup and Flash Startup are the default folders.
Creating Folders
To create folders, you must be in the File Menu in the Folder Mode.
1. Press DOTS 3-4-6, type the folder name and press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD).
2. Press R (DOTS 1-2-3-5) for RAM or F (DOTS 1-2-4) for Flash to store the folder.
3. Press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD) to exit the File Menu. You can create up to 20 folders.
Renaming Folders
To rename a folder, press O-CHORD, F (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD, DOTS 1-2-4), move to the folder and press DOTS 1-6 CHORD. Type in the new folder name and press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD).
Deleting Folders
To delete a folder, press O-CHORD, F (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD, DOTS 1-2-4). Move to the folder and press DOTS 3-6. The Braille Lite only deletes empty folders and does not ask for verification.

Reading with the Braille Lite
The Braille Lite Braille display has numerous settings that can optimize your reading experience. For instance, you can control how the Advance Bars work with Reverse Advance or limit the number of characters per line with Word Wrap. You can read system messages and file contents in Grade 2 Braille or Computer Braille. You can even read using 8-dot Mode so no information is lost. All of the settings that control how information is displayed can be found in the Status Menu under Braille Display Parameters. For additional information on this subject, please see the chapter, Menus of the Braille Lite.
Listed is a summary of settings that affect the Braille Lite Braille display.
* Braille Display - Turns the Braille display on or off
* Serial Tracking - Allows the cursor to track incoming information received from TTY/TDD communication devices such as the Comm Lite.
* Keyboard Tracking - Refreshes the Braille display as you type.
* Reverse Advance - Sets the Advance Bars to display information from the opposite direction.
* 8-dot Mode - Provides additional information that is normally not seen with 6-dot Mode.
* Control Chars - Displays control characters such as carriage returns, linefeeds, formfeeds and tabs. Control characters are used largely for formatting purposes to instruct a printer where to place your text.
* Cursor Always Visible - Displays the cursor
* Word Wrap - Controls the number of characters seen on the Braille display
* End Display on Carriage Return - Displays all text up to the carriage return or carriage return/linefeed.
* Display All - Displays exactly what the file contains: all spaces, multiple occurrences of fancy border characters like asterisks, all control characters, etc.
* Grade 2 Messages -
* View in Grade 2 -
Additional Braille display features include advance bars, Whiz Wheels, and cursor routing buttons. The advance bar and Whiz Wheels provide access to commonly used navigation commands, while the cursor routing buttons move the cursor to any cell.
To read a file with the refreshable Braille display, use the advance bar to move through your files one-display length at a time. Pressing the right end of the advance bar pans forward 20 or 40 cells, while pressing the left end of the advance bar pans backwards 20 or 40 cells. The function of the advance bars can be reversed so the left end of the advance bar moves you right, and the right end moves you left. For some people this provides an easier reach without needing to move fingers that are reading the Braille display.
To enable Reverse Advance you must enter the Status Menu and access Reverse Advance. To enter the Status Menu, press ST-SIGN CHORD (DOTS 3-4 CHORD).
To access Reverse Advance, press D-CHORD (DOTS 1-4-5 CHORD). At this point you can either press the SPACEBAR or Y (DOTS 1-3-4-5-6) to toggle the feature on. Press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD) to exit or Z-CHORD (DOTS 1-3-5-6 CHORD) to abort the Status Menu.
The programmable Whiz Wheels, located at either end of the Braille display, provide another option for you to read text. To program the Whiz Wheels, open a file and press down on each wheel. The Braille Lite will announce, "lines, sentences, paragraphs." You have the option of setting the Whiz Wheels independently. For example, you can set the right Whiz Wheel to move by line and you can set the left Whiz Wheel to move by paragraph.
The cursor routing buttons, located above each cell, are particularly helpful because you can move the cursor to different parts of the document and begin reading from that point.
The following commands display and speak the designated text from the position of the cursor.

To have the Braille Lite read the entire contents of a file, or read from the current cursor location, press an ER SIGN CHORD (DOTS 1-2-4-5-6 CHORD). Press a Z-CHORD to stop reading.
If you decide you want to stop at some particular word in a file, then it is helpful to turn on Speak Words in Say-All Mode (DOTS 2-3-4-5-6, SPACEBAR), which is in the Status Menu, and slow down the speech rate. You can now press an E-CHORD, which will silence speech and place the cursor close to the last word you heard. Use any of the reading commands listed above to read the contents of your file. For instance, to reread that word where the cursor is resting press a DOTS 2-5 CHORD.
Occasionally, you may find yourself in an environment, such as the library, where reading with speech could be troublesome. In this case, you might want to pull out your headsets or better yet, you can turn speech off by entering the Status Menu and pressing S-CHORD, SPACEBAR.
With speech turned off, the ER SIGN CHORD scrolls the display every couple of seconds from the cursor position to the end of the file so that you don't have to keep tapping the advance bar. To stop the scrolling, press any chord. To change the rate at which the display scrolls, press DOT 5 to speed up scrolling, press DOT 2 to slow scrolling down. If you press a key accidentally, the display shows, "Invalid input." Tapping the advance bar again returns you to where you had stopped scrolling in the file. To continue scrolling, simply press ER SIGN CHORD again.
If you want to move forward by skipping a paragraph or two, simply press the SPACEBAR while the display is scrolling. This temporarily moves the display faster. As with virtually all the settings on the Braille Lite, the unit remembers how you last set scrolling, and resumes scrolling at that pace the next time you issue the command that starts the display scrolling. But if you turn off the Braille Lite, the next time you turn on the unit and activate scrolling, the scrolling speed is back at the default speed set from the factory.
While most chords have set definitions, the DOT 1 CHORD and DOT 4 CHORD have three definitions. They can be set to move by line, by sentence, or by window. To set the definitions, enter the Status Menu and press V (DOTS 1-2-3-6), SPACEBAR. Then press L for line, S for sentence, or W for window.
So far we have only discussed reading with the Braille display only. But, the opposite situation can occur where you might want to turn off the Braille display and leave the speech feature on. For instance, you are on a trip, your battery charger is at home, and your Braille Lite battery charge is low. In this case, enter the Status Menu and press B-CHORD, SPACEBAR. Your Braille Lite reading commands will work just the same and with the display off you will save battery life.
Chapter 7
Editing Text
The cursor marks the current location in the text. This is important because many editing commands use the cursor as a reference point for implementation. For example, pressing D-CHORD, W would delete a word at the cursor location.
By default, the cursor is only visible when you are writing in a file, reading one character at a time, or when you use a cursor routing button to move the cursor to a specific cell. To have the cursor always visible, enter the Status Menu and press V-CHORD, SPACEBAR. The cursor, represented by dots 7 and 8, is now visible at the left end of the display.
To find where the cursor is resting, press a WH-SIGN CHORD (DOTS 1-5-6 CHORD) from anywhere within your file. The Braille Lite responds with column # and cursor at character #. This information reflects that the cursor is resting at particular place within a line and that the cursor is so many characters into a file. If the cursor is at column 0, then the cursor is resting on a carriage return.
When editing a file it may be useful to have the Braille Lite "show blank lines" as this helps to prevent unintentional breaks in a paragraph. By default, the Braille Lite does not display the presence of blank lines. To have the Braille Lite show blank lines, press ST-SIGN CHORD, DOTS 1-2-3-4-6, SPACEBAR.
Since files can only be created and edited in the RAM Folder, any file that is stored in the Flash Folder will have to be moved over to the RAM Folder. If you try to edit a file that is stored in Flash, the Braille Lite will inform you that the file is write-protected. After finishing your edits you may want to store these files in the Flash Folder since it has 12 megabytes of memory. For more information on moving files, please see the chapter, Working with Folders.
With the Braille Lite there are two editing modes, Append and PC Edit Mode.
Append Mode
The Append Mode, which is the default mode, allows for quick note taking because anything you type is added to the end of your file. With Append Mode, the cursor is represented by a dot 7 and 8 and requires that you specify when you want to insert or overwrite text.
* To insert text at the cursor location within the file, press I-CHORD (DOTS 2-4 CHORD), type in the text, and press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD).
* To overwrite one character at the cursor location, press OW-SIGN CHORD (DOTS 2-4-6 CHORD).
* To continuously overwrite text from the cursor location, press OW-SIGN CHORD (DOTS 2-4-6 CHORD) twice, type in the new text, and press OW-SIGN CHORD (DOTS 2-4-6 CHORD) again.
* To delete a character at the cursor location, press D-CHORD (DOTS 1-4-5 CHORD) twice.
* To delete multiple characters, press D-CHORD, C (DOTS 1-4-5 CHORD, DOTS1-4) plus the number of characters (up to 255), then press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD) to move the deleted text to the clipboard, replacing any text already in the clipboard. Press ING-SIGN CHORD (DOTS 3-4-6 CHORD) instead of E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD) to append the deleted text to that already in the clipboard.
This same process can be applied to words, sentences, and paragraphs. For example, D-CHORD, W5, E-CHORD (DOTS 1-4-5 CHORD, DOTS 2-4-5-6 2-6, DOTS 1-5 CHORD) deletes five words from the cursor location forward, and places that text on the clipboard. D-CHORD, P3, ING-SIGN CHORD (DOT 1-4-5 CHORD, DOTS 1-2-3-4 2-5, DOTS 3-4-6 CHORD) deletes three paragraphs and appends the paragraphs to text already on the clipboard.
Text can also be copied or appended to the clipboard without deleting the existing text.
PC Edit Mode
In PC Edit Mode, the M20/40 functions more like a word processor. Once you set this option, the Braille Lite defaults to Insert Mode and you must press I-CHORD (DOTS 2-4 CHORD) from within any RAM file to toggle between Append, Overwrite, and Insert modes. The mode you select remains active until you change it, or until you reset your Braille Lite.
PC Edit Mode is set from the Status Menu.
1. Press ST-SIGN CHORD (DOTS 3-4 CHORD) to open the Status Menu.
2. Press DOTS 1-2-4-6 to move directly to PC Editing.
3. Press SPACEBAR to cycle between "PC Editing Off," "PC Editing On," and "PC Editing On with Insert at Startup."
4. Once the desired option is selected, press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD) to exit the Status Menu.
* Append: Typed text is appended to the end of the file, regardless of cursor location. The cursor is represented by dots 7 and 8.
* Insert: Typed text is inserted at the cursor location. Any text that is beyond the location of the cursor is pushed forward in the file. A flashing dot 7 represents the cursor.
* Overwrite: Typed text begins at the cursor location, which is represented by a flashing dot 8. Text that is beyond the location of the cursor is replaced with the newly typed text.
Copying Text
There are several ways to copy text to the Clipboard. The following method replaces text or adds text to that already on the Clipboard.
1. Move the cursor to the beginning of the text and press M-CHORD (DOTS 1-3-4 CHORD) to mark the location.
2. Move the cursor one character after the end of the text you want to copy.
3. Press GH-CHORD (DOTS 1-2-6 CHORD).
4. Press C (DOTS 1-4) to copy the text to the clipboard replacing other text, or A (DOT 1) to append text to that already in the clipboard.
Text can also be copied or appended to the clipboard without deleting the existing text.
1. Move the cursor to the beginning of the text and press M-CHORD (DOTS 1-3-4 CHORD) to mark the location.
2. Move the cursor to the end of the text and press GH-SIGN CHORD (DOTS 1-2-6 CHORD).
3. Press C (DOTS 1-4) to copy the text to the clipboard, or A (DOT 1) to append the text to that already in the clipboard.
Deleting (Cut) Text
Before we begin this discussion, you should know that the Delete feature in the M20/40 works like the Cut feature in a word processing application. Like word processing applications, deleting text actually places the text on the clipboard so you can paste it in another location. In the M20/40 there are 8 different Delete Parameters. Some Delete parameters allow you to copy as well. With the Delete feature only one deletion is held on the clipboard at a time. Delete parameters, used to copy and delete text, are available when you press D-CHORD (DOTS 1-4-5 CHORD) in any writeable RAM file. Use the Whiz Wheels to cycle through the delete parameters and press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD) to select the parameter. Alternately, you can select a parameter by pressing a Delete Parameter's Access Key.
Block (B)(DOTS 1-2): Prompts for a string of text, and deletes from the cursor to the first instance of that string of text. Text cannot be copied with this parameter.
Character (C)(DOTS 1-4): Prompts for a number of characters, and counts from the cursor forward through the file. Use this parameter to copy or delete.

Spell Check
Spell check, an external program already loaded on your unit, verifies correct spelling within your documents. Since the program file, "spell.dic," uses 86 Braille Lite pages, we recommend you store this file in Flash.
To start the spell check, open the Options Menu and press a CH-SIGN (DOTS 1-6). Press W (DOTS 2-4-5-6) to check the current word, or press Z (DOTS 1-3-5-6) to check the entire document starting from the cursor location. To check an entire file, first move your cursor to the beginning of the file and press L-CHORD (DOTS 1-2-3 CHORD).
The Braille Lite indicates an unrecognizable word by spelling it out. Several options are then presented. Use the cursor movement keys to cycle through the options and press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD) to select the option you desire. Most of these options also have access keys to directly select them. Press a - CHORD (DOTS 3-6 CHORD) to hear the access key for the current option.
Add Words to Personal Dictionary (A)(DOT 1)
The first time this option is used; a file named "Personal.dic" is created in RAM. This file stores words not found in the standard spell check dictionary. Add words to the personal.dic that the spell check will not recognize such as personal names.
Bypass Word for Rest of Document (B)
(DOTS 1-2)
Spell check ignores any further instances of the current word in the open file.
Read Word in Context (C)(DOTS 1-4)
Spell check reads/displays the line of text in which the current word is found.
Enter the Correct Word in Document (E)(DOTS 1-5)
Spell check prompts you to type in the word as you want it spelled.
Skip Word (O)(DOTS 1-3-5)
Spell check skips the current instance of the word and continues checking the file. Any further instances of the same word are found.
Repeat Incorrect Word (R)(DOTS 1-2-3-5)
Spell check reads and spells the current word.
Suggestion Words from a List (S)(DOTS 2-3-4)
Spell check lists alternative words for the current word. Use the cursor movement keys to cycle through the choices and press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD) to select a word. Z-CHORD (DOTS 1-3-5-6 CHORD) exits the list, and returns you to the previous list of options for the current word.
Suggestion Words Help (Q)(DOTS 1-2-3-4-5)
Spell check indicates how to navigate within the word suggestion list.
Press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD) to cancel the spell check operation. If you are in the word suggestion list, press Z-CHORD (DOTS 1-3-5-6 CHORD) twice.
Word Fix
Word Fix is a quick and easy tool for changing how your M20/40 pronounces the words that you write. Below are the directions for creating and working with Word Fix.
1. Create a file O-CHORD, F, C and call the file Word.fix.
2. Press DOT 8 or DOTS 4-6 CHORD for a carriage return.
3. Type the word that you want to have the M20/40 say correctly followed by an Equal Sign followed by the phonetic pronunciation of the word.
For example:
FreedomScientific=Freedom Scientific
Stuart=Stewart
4. Press DOT 8 or DOTS 4-6 CHORD for a carriage return.
5. Type new word to be fixed using the same format.
Note: Word Fix only fixes the pronunciation so that whenever the word is encountered in a file it will be pronounced correctly. This is not a spell check tool.
Word Fix Rules:
* Word Exceptions Check in the Status Menu must be on in order for the word fixes to be recognized in a file. (The Access key for Word Exceptions is E).
* Each Word Fix needs to be on a separate line.
* There can be no spaces in your Word Fix string, nor can there be a space before the first word.
* The word before the Equal Sign must be one word. After the Equal Sign you can have multiple words.

Storing and Using the Memory Locations
The Braille Lite calculator has 25 memory locations where you can store results of computations. These memory locations are labeled A through Z. Memory location R is reserved because it stores your last result.
There are two ways to store a number in a memory location.
1. Type an arithmetic expression and press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD) to compute the result.
2. Press S-CHORD (DOTS 2-3-4 CHORD) to store the result.
3. Type the letter of the memory location you want to use.
The second method is to type a number into the Calculator, press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD), type S-CHORD (DOTS 2-3-4 CHORD), and specify the memory location you want to use.
To read the contents of a memory location, type the letter of that location followed by E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD).
To use numbers stored in different memory locations as part of an expression, reference the memory location in your expression. For example, if you have numbers stored in memory locations A and B, the expression A+B followed by E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD) returns the sum of these two numbers.
Phonebook
The Braille Lite includes a phonebook to manage contact information. The Phonebook tracks much more than just phone numbers. It can manage names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and more.
There are two items in the Options Menu O-CHORD (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD) that relate to the Phonebook. The following lists the two items:
* Open Phone Book (P-CHORD)(DOTS 1-2-3-4 CHORD) - this item opens a phonebook file.
Note: You may have multiple phone files, but the first word in each should be "phone." For example, you may want to have separate phonebook files for personal and business contacts. One could be named "phone personal," and the other could be named "phone business." You navigate this file as you would any other file.
* Phonebook (P)(DOTS 1-2-3-4) - this item adds phonebook entries, or creates and configures phonebook files.
Adding Phonebook Entries
When you first press O-CHORD, P (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD, DOTS 1-2-3-4), a list of fields is displayed. The "Name Field" must always be populated with information, otherwise the Braille Lite returns you to your current file and says, "Abort." Records are alphabetized based on the Name Field. Use a consistent naming scheme, such as last name, first name. Use consistent capitalization as this makes it easier to locate individual records.
* Type in the information for each field and press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD) to move to the next field.
* Press DOT 1 CHORD or DOT 4 CHORD to move through the available fields. Field names are indicated as you move through them.
* Press # CHORD (DOTS 3-4-5-6 CHORD) followed by the first letter of a field name to move to a specific field.
* Press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD) in the comment field, or press F-CHORD (DOTS 1-2-4 CHORD) when finished.
Note: When entering field information, B-CHORD (DOTS 1-2 CHORD) is the only available editing option.
The default field names for the phonebook are as follows:
Name Home Phone

Macros
A macro is a set of recorded commands that automates a given task. Pressing one keyboard command starts the macro, executing the entire series of assigned commands. Using macros can significantly increase your productivity because it allows you to automate frequently used tasks. Use macros for repetitive or complex tasks such as inserting your name and address into a document, launching a program, or copying and pasting data from one file to another.
The first time you create a macro, the unit automatically creates a file called "macros.sys" and places the file at the end of the files list. When recording macros, keep the following points in mind:
* You can create up to 64 macros with each macro comprising 63 keystrokes.
* Use meaningful alphabet name designations or Braille symbol designations when naming your macros.
* Carefully plan and record your macros to avoid keystroke errors. (This is important when creating a macro that edits text or manipulates files).
Recording macros uses the following basic steps.
Recording a Macro
To record, position your cursor at the point where you want to use the macro, start the recording and execute the steps included in the macro. For example, if you want a macro to insert a commonly used closing at the end of a letter, position your cursor at the end of a file before recording the macro.
1. Press N-CHORD (DOTS 1-3-4-5 CHORD) to start the macro recorder.
2. Enter the name of the macro. The prompt, "Recording" is spoken/displayed.
3. Perform the steps of your macro.
4. Press N-CHORD (DOTS 1-3-4-5 CHORD) to complete the recording or press Z-CHORD (DOTS 1-3-4-6 CHORD) to abort the recording.
The following commands add functionality to your macros. Use these chords in the recording process of your macros.
Executing a Macro
Execute a macro by pressing J-CHORD (DOTS 2-4-5 CHORD) followed by the name of the macro.
Speaking or Silencing Macros
To use the speech as you play or record a macro, press V-CHORD (DOTS 1-2-3-6 CHORD). To silence the speech, press K-CHORD (DOTS 1-3 CHORD).
Nesting a Macro
Nesting a macro means you incorporate an existing macro into the one you are recording. To nest a macro, first record your new macro, then at the point you want the existing macro to take over, press J-CHORD (DOTS 2-4-5 CHORD) and type in the MACRO NAME.
Start-Up Macros
A Start-Up macro plays every time you power up your Braille Lite. To create a Start-Up Macro, first press N-CHORD (DOTS 1-3-4-5 CHORD), then press SPACEBAR, Y (DOTS 1-3-4-5-6) for yes or N (DOTS 1-3-4-5) for no. Enter the keystrokes you want the macro to perform and end the recording with another N-CHORD (DOTS 1-3-4-5 CHORD).
Note: If a start up macro causes difficulties in the operation of your Braille Lite, bypass running it by pressing SPACEBAR during power on.
Erasing a Macro
To erase a macro, press N-CHORD, MACRO NAME, N-CHORD (DOTS 1-3-4-5 CHORD, MACRO NAME, DOTS 1-3-4-5 CHORD).
To erase a Start Up macro, press N-CHORD, SPACEBAR, Y or N, N-CHORD (DOTS 1-3-4-5 CHORD, SPACEBAR, DOTS 1-3-4-5-6 or DOTS 1-3-4-5, DOTS 1-3-4-5 CHORD).
Write-Protecting a Macro
Write-protecting prevents you from creating new macro files with names of older macro files. To use write-protect, first enter the macro file, and press P-CHORD (DOTS 1-2-3-4 CHORD). To unprotect macro files, press U-CHORD (DOTS 1-3 CHORD).
Chapter 11
Printing and Embossing
Most printers use the parallel port, and most embossers use the serial port. If you are going to connect the Braille Lite to an embosser through the serial port, the Status Menu serial parameters settings must match the settings on the embosser.
The files in the Braille Lite Editor are plain text. They contain no layout or character formatting such as bold, italic, or underline. You must format text in a document when printing or embossing. Formatting commands - strings of characters included in your files - affect text layout and character appearance. The formatting characters are not printed or embossed; instead they instruct your printer or embosser on how to render a document.
Status Menu Settings
There are several settings within the Status Menu that control how documents are printed or embossed. For basic documents, minor adjustments to these settings may be sufficient to provide the formatting features you want to use.
Press ST-SIGN CHORD (DOTS 3-4 CHORD) to open the Status Menu; then press DOTS 5-6 CHORD to move through the sections of this menu until "Format Parameters" is indicated. This section of the Status Menu contains the following items.
Printer Compatibility
This item specifies the printer settings available.
* Epson Compatible Printer
* Imagewriter Printer
* HP Printer
Toggle between the settings with SPACEBAR. If you do not use one of these printer brands, check your printer documentation for information on "compatibility" or "emulation." If you are able to set your printer to emulate one of these brands, or if your printer is compatible with one of these brands, your printer should work with the Braille Lite.
Print Commands
Print Commands affect how files are printed or embossed.
To send an open file to the serial port, press T-CHORD (DOTS 2-3-4-5 CHORD). Then specify which parameters you want printed.

Page Numbering
Number Pages specifies whether or not page numbers are included in your printed and embossed documents.
Put Page Number on First Page determines if the first page of your document includes a page number.
Document Layout
Several Status Menu items control overall layout of your printed or embossed documents. These items are listed here with their default values.
Double Space (Off) specifies whether the document is single or double-spaced. This setting applies to both printed and embossed documents.
There are several Status Menu items that only affect how documents are printed:
* Print Line Length (75)
* Print Left Margin (10)
* Print Page Length (60)
* Print Top Margin (6)
There are also several Status Menu items that only affect how documents are embossed:
* Braille Line Length (33)
* Braille Left Margin (1)
* Braille Page Length (25)
* Braille Top Margin (1)
Formatting Commands
Formatting commands are inserted into the text of your documents to produce results that cannot be achieved through more general formatting settings in the Status Menu. We recommend you add formatting commands as a last step before printing or embossing a document.
Syntax
Formatting commands must be entered in a specific manner to work properly. If you work with HTML you already understand the need for proper syntax in achieving desired results.
All formatting commands begin with the dollar sign ($) (DOTS 1-2-4-6).
* All formatting commands must have a space before and after the command. For example, to bold text: The word $BB bold $BF will print in a boldface font.
* Many formatting commands contain two elements, one to begin the formatting, and one to end it. If the ending element is left out, the printer does not know to stop applying that format.
* Many formatting commands must be used at certain locations relative to the text you want to affect. For example, when centering a line of text, the center command ( $C ) must be on each line that is to be centered.
* Many formatting commands require a value as part of the command. This must be included directly after the command, but before the space. For example, to set a tab stop of five characters, enter the command ( $TS5 ).
The following sections list the available formatting commands. The surrounding parentheses are not part of the command. If a numeric value is required as part of a command, it is indicated with the number sign (#).
Attribute Marking
Formatting commands related to attribute marking apply only to documents that are to be printed.
Bold Begin ( $BB )
(DOTS 1-2-4-6, 1-2, 1-2)

Connecting to a Personal Computer
The Braille Lite serves as a refreshable Braille display for your screen access software, or you can connect it to your PC for easy and convenient file transfers. You can also use the external disk drive - available from Freedom Scientific - to move files between your PC and the Braille Lite via disk.
JAWS and Connect Outloud
The Braille Lite provides tactile access to JAWS and Connect Outloud supported applications through the Braille Display Mode. Toggle the switch on the left edge of the Braille Lite toward the front of the unit to enter Braille Display Mode. The Braille Lite should be connected to your PC through the serial port, powered on, and toggled to Braille Display Mode before JAWS or Connect Outloud is started.
Refer to the JAWS or Connect Outloud Online Help Systems for information on specific Braille Lite commands that interact with these applications and the programs they support.
HyperTerminal
Any terminal program can be used to transfer files to and from the notetaker. For the purpose of this document, we will assume you will be using HyperTerminal, a terminal program that comes with the Windows Operating System.
To set up your PC for communication with your notetaker, first use the TNS3 serial cable from Freedom Scientific to connect your notetaker to Com Port 1 of your computer. If you are using a Braille display, you will need to temporarily disable this in JAWS. To do this, select Braille from the Options Menu of JAWS, and TAB to the Default Braille Display list. Select No Display and press ENTER. You will need to close and reload JAWS for this to take effect.
On most windows systems, HyperTerminal can be found on the Start Menu, either under Programs/Accessories/Communications, or directly under Programs/Accessories. Once in the correct menu, you will notice a HyperTerminal Submenu. There may also be a separate HyperTerminal item outside of this submenu. If this separate item exists, select it and press ENTER. Otherwise, enter the HyperTerminal Submenu and select hyperterminal.exe from there.
A dialog will appear allowing you to configure a new connection. The first control is an edit box, asking for the name of the connection. You can enter anything you want here. However, try to make it unique, as this will become the name of the item used to connect to the notetaker in the future. Press TAB, and you land on a list box containing several graphical icons. Press TAB again to move to the OK button and press SPACEBAR.
The next dialog asks for details about this connection, such as the telephone number if you have a modem installed. Since you are not actually connecting using a telephone, TAB to the Connect Using combo box. Press C until you reach the Com Port to which you have connected the cable. TAB to the OK button and press SPACEBAR or ENTER. Next you are presented with a dialog containing various settings for this Com Port, such as baud rate. The parameters, both here and in your notetaker, should be set to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and software handshake (called xon/xoff flow control in HyperTerminal). TAB to the ok button and activate it.
The dialog will disappear and your PC will attempt to connect to the notetaker. If the connection fails, a dialog will appear informing you of this. Otherwise, you will be placed in a window where several options are available to you. This same window will appear in the future, when you select the name that you assigned to this session from the HyperTerminal Submenu of the Start Menu.
Transferring from the PC to the notetaker:
1. On the PC, press ALT+T.
2. Select send file.
3. Type in the name of the file you want to send, or use the browse button to select the file.
4. Select Y Modem from the protocol list.
5. On the notetaker, enter the File Menu with
O-CHORD, F (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD, DOTS 1-2-4).
6. Press T-CHORD (DOTS 2-3-4-5 CHORD).
7. Press R (DOTS 1-2-3-5) for receive.
8. Press Y (DOTS 1-3-4-5-6) for Y Modem.
9. The notetaker will say, "starting transfer."
10. On the PC, activate the OK button. The transfer should begin at this point.
Transferring from the notetaker to the PC:
1. On the PC, press ALT+T.
2. Select receive file.
3. Enter the directory where you want to save the file.
4. Select Y Modem from the protocol list.
5. On the notetaker, enter the file menu with O-CHORD, F (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD, DOTS 1-2-4).
6. Press T-CHORD (DOTS 2-3-4-5 CHORD).
7. Press S (DOTS 2-3-4) for send.
8. Press Y (DOTS 1-3-4-5-6) for Y Modem.
9. A list of existing files will appear. Mark one or more files using SPACEBAR. Press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD) when all files you wish to send are selected.
10. On the PC, activate the OK button. The transfer should begin at this point. Please be patient. It may take a little time before the transfer begins.
Note: If you use a Braille display and want to go back to using it after finishing the transfer, you will need to unload and reload JAWS. Also, be sure to close the HyperTerminal window so that JAWS can recognize the display.
External Disk Drive
Freedom Scientific offers an external disk drive that works well with the Braille Lite. Use the disk drive to copy files to and from the Braille Lite. Use the cable provided with this drive to connect it to the disk drive port on the Braille Lite. You can use either of the two PS2-style serial ports, which on the M20 are located on either side of the unit. On the M40 they are located on the back side of the unit.
After connecting the disk drive, power on the Braille Lite and the disk drive. Insert a disk and press S-CHORD, D (DOTS 2-3-4 CHORD, DOTS 1-4-5) to access the directory of the disk drive. Use DOT 1 CHORD to move up the list or DOT 4 CHORD to move down the list. When the name of the file is displayed press S-CHORD, G (DOTS 1-5 CHORD, DOTS 1-2-4-5) to get the file you want to use.
The recommended option for copying files to and from the disk drive is Y-modem transfers. Press Y (DOTS 1-3-4-5-6) to select this item. You are prompted to press S (DOTS 2-3-4) to send or R (DOTS 1-2-3-5) to receive.
Send Options
If you choose to send, you have several options:
* Press the SPACEBAR to mark the selected file. Move through the list to select all files you want to send to the disk drive.
* Press R (DOTS 1-2-3-5) to mark all RAM files.
* Press F (DOTS 1-2-4) to mark all Flash files.
Press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD) when complete, and the transfer begins.
Receiving from the Disk Drive
After Selecting Y-modem transfers, choose R (DOTS 1-2-3-5) to receive from the disk drive, you are prompted to indicate what you want to receive.
* Type the name of a file located on the disk in the disk drive and press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD).
* Type in a file mask, such as *.txt or *.* and press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD).
File masks use wild card characters to fill in the parts of the file names that are not specified. For example, *.txt indicates to copy all files ending in .txt. *.* indicates to copy all files.
For more information, refer to the external disk drive's manual.

Chapter 13
Maintenance
The Braille Lite is a complex electronic device and must be cared for properly to maintain its peak performance. This section discusses caring for the Braille Lite, updating to the latest firmware, and basic troubleshooting steps to take in case the Braille Lite stops functioning properly.
Resetting the Braille Lite
The Braille Lite, like any complex computing system, occasionally may lock, freeze, or seem sluggish. If this occurs regularly, contact Freedom Scientific's hardware technical support. However, if this occurs infrequently, take these steps to get you back up and running without delay.
Warm Reset
Press = CHORD (DOTS 1-2-3-4-5-6 CHORD) to warm reset your Braille Lite. A warm reset does not affect your files, but all settings you have configured are reset to defaults.
If the first warm reset does not help, press and hold down = CHORD (DOTS 1-2-3-4-5-6 CHORD) during power on.
Cold Reset
A cold reset may result in loss of all files on the Braille Lite so this should be used only as a last resort. Press and hold down I-CHORD (DOTS 2-4 CHORD) during power on to cold reset your Braille Lite. This resets your unit to its default parameters and erases calculator memories. During the process:
1. You are asked to initialize the file system. Answering Y (DOTS 1-3-4-5-6) for yes erases all RAM files from the file menu.
2. Next you are asked to initialize the Flash system. Pressing Y (DOTS 1-3-4-5-6) for yes erases all Flash files.
3. Then you are asked to initialize the folder system. Doing so without initializing the file or Flash systems should allow you to later repair your folders without losing files.
4. Finally you are asked to delete all data in the file area. Answering Y (DOTS 1-3-4-5-6) for yes permanently deletes all files.
To perform a cold reset without losing files:
1. Hold down I-CHORD (DOTS 2-4 CHORD) during system power on.
2. Press N (DOTS 1-3-4-5) for no when prompted to initialize the file system.
3. Press N (DOTS 1-3-4-5) for no when prompted to initialize the flash system.
4. Press Y (DOTS 1-3-4-5-6) for yes when prompted to initialize the folder system.
5. Press N (DOTS 1-3-4-5) for no when asked to delete all file information in the file area.
6. Recreate your folders using the same names as were previously used.
Hardware Reset
There is a hardware reset button on the back of the Braille Lite just left of the parallel port. This button is small and recessed. Use a paper clip or a toothpick to press this button.
Using the hardware-reset button does not delete your files, and may not even reset configuration settings to defaults. This button should be used only if the other reset options do not respond. If your Braille Lite is functioning normally and you press this button, there may be no response at all.
Updating the Firmware
The Braille Lite uses firmware that is easy to update. Updating to the newest firmware ensures you have the latest features and functionality. You do not need to service your Braille Lite to update the firmware. Just back up all your files, load the firmware update into your Braille Lite, and run it. After completing the update, remember to perform a cold reset. To begin a cold reset, press and hold I-CHORD (DOTS 2-4 CHORD) during power on.
Getting Started
Before the update process is started, all files on the Braille Lite need to be backed up to a diskette, a compact flash card or to your computer. The update process may delete files on the Braille Lite, so files not backed up may be lost. The update file is a large file so if you have lots of files in RAM you may need to move them to Flash.
This process updates the system software in the Braille Lite. If this process is interrupted, permanent damage may result. If your battery is low, we recommend charging it, or running the update while using the AC adapter.
Starting the Update
If you have never run an update before, or if you would like to listen to the instructions and prompts while updating your unit, please turn on speech before beginning the update process. Running the update program does not automatically turn speech on. To turn speech on in the Status Menu, press S-CHORD or press V in the Options Menu.
1. Press O-CHORD, F and navigate to appropriate update file. For the M20, the update file is called Blm20eng.bns. For the M40, the update file is called Blm40eng.bns. Press O-CHORD to run the program. for Type Lite users, Tlteng.bns.
2. A prompt warns that updating your unit may destroy your files, and then asks if you are sure you want to continue. Enter Y (DOTS 1-3-4-5-6) to proceed.
3. There is a second verification prompt. Press Y (DOTS 1-3-4-5-6) again to proceed.
The Braille Lite takes a few moments to validate the program. A series of beeps indicates the process continues.
The Braille Lite then asks you to select language bank A or B.
Once you have selected the language bank to be updated, several messages are displayed/spoken, warning you not to do anything until the process is complete. The notetaker also indicates to turn off your unit when you receive a continuous low pitch tone. Finally, it tells you that if you hear rapid beeping for more than thirty seconds, your update has failed.
After the messages are finished, the Braille Lite beeps again. This will continue for two to three minutes, then your unit will abruptly sound a continuous, low pitch tone. When this occurs, turn off your unit.
Note: If the notetaker rapidly beeps for some time, the update process has failed. Contact Freedom Scientific's hardware technical support for assistance.
When you turn the unit on after updating bank A, you will hear the unit announce that it has performed a warm reset, then you will hear the normal startup message. At this point, all settings will be set to their defaults, and you will need to recustomize the unit to your liking.
Once complete, the .bns file is no longer needed. Since this file is large, you may want to delete it.
If your Braille Lite does not work normally after the warm reset, perform a hard reset. This clears the machine of your files, but it also reinitializes the Braille Lite, allowing the new update to run properly.
Press and hold down I-CHORD (DOTS 2-4 CHORD) during power on to perform a hard reset. This step is not necessary if your system functions properly after the warm reset described above.
During a hard reset, parts of the file and folder system are reinitialized. Answer Y (DOTS 1-3-4-5-6) for yes to each question asked during this process.
After your system is fully updated, the onboard help indicates it is the "mini help file." The diskette on which you received the firmware update should contain a file with the same name as the update file but with an .hlp extension. Copy this file to the notetaker and rename it "help." Use the process listed above to copy the file, substituting the appropriate file name. To rename the .hlp file once it is on the Braille Lite, press F-CHORD (DOTS 1-2-4 CHORD), locate the file, press R-CHORD (DOTS 1-2-3-5 CHORD), and type in the new name, "help."
